'Good to See Ya'

Debut Album Out Now

Welcome

I'm a composer/guitarist in the smooth jazz, blues and contemporary gospel niche. Having said that, as a freelance guitarist for 30yrs I'm influenced by many genres and artists as you'll discover in my music. I'm married to my beautiful Chinese wife and father to our eight year old son. We live on the Gold Coast of Australia near Brisbane, "Beautiful one day perfect the next"as the saying goes. I run my own carpet business during the day in conjunction with my music as an Indy artist. I believe with some hard work and a bit of support I can transition ta full time musician.

Here it is, my debut album.

I'm very pleased to present a collection of ten songs in varying styles with a common thread of jazz, blues and gospel. Nine originals and a re-arrangement of a Wes Montgomery classic "Unit 7'. At the heart of this album is my Christian faith which is expressed in the two vocal songs. I enjoy a variety genre's like rock n roll, rock, soul, RnB, pop, blues, jazz, reggae, Latin, funk, country etc...and I've had the opportunity to play them with some of the best in the business as a freelance guitarist in New Zealand and now in Australia. My main influences include Jimi Hendrix, George Benson, Pat Metheny and Robben Ford. My inspiration is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And what he did on the cross for me and 'whosoever believes'. This album is a culmination of songs and tunes I've written over the years and now finally recorded.
